Controversial Issues Process
Saturday, Nov. 20 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Siek Campus Center Exhibition Room (2nd Floor)
The “Controversial Issues Process” (Conflict Resolution) Workshop helps individuals and groups move hotly contested issues forward by teaching a set of skills that are essential for effective conflict resolution, listening first to the heartfelt concerns on all sides and then reframing the debate in a way that builds bridges.
Using the NCBI coalition-building model, leaders work with and teach conflicting groups to:
– Listen to and understand all sides of the dispute
– Find common ground
– Reframe the issue in a way that takes all sides into consideration
– Develop concrete solutions through productive discussion
Situations in which these teachable skills can be used:
– Disagreement
– Conflict
– Heated debate
– Basic misunderstandings
Lunch will be provided. Seating is limited to 50 participants.
